As a woman I've been wanting them done for years but I really wanted another woman to do this piercing. I'm so glad that I held out! Jessie was friendly but professional and seriously did an incredible job! In such a short time they honestly look like they are already healed. I've been following her instructions (I wish I could put this in bold seriously please listen to your piercers/tat artists about after care). The first two days they were pretty tender but surprisingly not as bad as I was expecting. Now, they honestly look like they are already healed and I barely have any soreness. I'm already starting to forget they are even there! I really dig the look and vibe of the whole studio. It looks awesome and is very clean. LOVE that you can make appointments online. I had zero issues.d Jessie is for sure my go to piercer now! Also, thanks to Jessie and after seeing the place in person I'm definitely going to stalk the tattoo artists schedules and try to get some ink in the future.

This review really only reflects basic piercings since that's all I got done BUT I chose King Cobra…read moreover other local spots because they had the best reviews for everything overall! My experience with piercing shops/tattoo parlors is limited exclusively to Claire's as a child, so I wasn't sure what to expect and have always been a little intimated by those places because I'm not what I'd consider "cool" (lol). I had my original lobe piercings done at claire's and have always had issues with those piercings and decided if I ever wanted more, I'd go somewhere more professional. Hence the search for a place in State College... I suspected a lot of places would overcharge because it's a college town so I did a lot of googling, reading reviews, and asking friends for suggestions either way. I have a few friends who've gone to the other shop in town for piercings and were happy with it, but when I looked at some of the reviews I was more hesitant. I'm a weenie about this stuff and really wanted to get my lobes pierced again (new spot) and prefer not having weird issues with prices not being disclosed up front and uncomfortable/unwelcoming vibes. I ultimately decided on King Cobra because of the reviews, but when I stopped in today just to get a feel for their vibes and ask about pricing, they were super nice and answered all my questions about the cost and pain. Even though it was mostly an exploratory visit for info, they offered to fit me in then and there so I just went for it! I paid $60 total for the two lobes, jewelry cost included. I've been wanting these second piercings for a while and since it's spring break, I figured I may as well treat myself. Jake was very friendly, clean/hygienic and everything you'd hope from someone doing piercings. The actual piercing was much better than I thought it would be, very little pain and didn't take long at all. He explained the aftercare and also gave a printout of the directions. I am very very happy with the piercings and will probably go back to get the third lobe piercing once these have healed a little bit (and I can save up lol).

We felt bullied and pushed around when we left and the after care instructions we were given were not only wrong but dangerous and could cause infection! The line work was sloppy at best and the artist had the heaviest hand I have ever experienced! I have a lot of other tattoos and if felt like he was actually trying to hurt me when he was tattooing us. The whole experience was awful. They made us feel like we were an inconvenience to them. I highly recommend going somewhere else for your tattoos!!!!!!

She was very kind, and knew which artist would do the best job, Church. Dope ass guy. Very personable. Very nice. I had an idea of what i wanted in my tattoo and some photos for reference, but we took a few minutes to scroll through other photos so he could be sure to include all aspects of what I asked for. Found the perfect one, gave me a valid estimate of how long it would take him to create a stencil. Was definietly quicker than the time he said. took me back and got started. Made sure everything was going well, even covered up my sleeve so it wouldn't stain ! Honestly one of my favorite tattoos, he did such an amazing job capturing the essential details in 1. making sure it looked like a bunny, 2. making sure it looked like MY bunny. The details are impeccable, very realistic yet not overly intricate. Quite a calming and enjoyable experience, 10/10 would reference Church again !!
